2006 MELGES 32 FALL CHAMPIONSHIP | WFORC
OCTOBER 13-15. Just when you thought
the year was through, the Melges 32 Fall Championship will stir
the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico this coming October. Taking
place in conjunction with WFORC (West Florida Ocean Racing Circuit),
this great racer will take the stage as all eyes surely will be
watching, anticipating an impressive demonstration of power and
speed — and it's all about the speed. Local favorite and fleet
contact Doug Kessler and his Liberty crew will be on hand to showoff
this great boat. Kessler was last spotted at the St. Petersburg NOOD
where it was his first time in the boat placing third overall in the
class. "This boat is absolutely incredible. Make the jump to this
boat, it is incredible. Because of how this class is structured
everyone is dead even. It's extremely competitive" said Kessler.The event is set to be a lot of fun. With activities starting as early as October 12th (skippers meeting), actual racing will commence on Friday and run until Sunday. Evening socials such as dinner and dancing is planned for both Friday and Saturday night. The WFORC Organization has sent out notifications of the event so, keep an eye out for them.
